World Casino Directory: Global Casino Property Data

World Casino Directory is the long-running commercial census of the physical gambling floor, and it behaves like one: a continent-country-state-city tree covering roughly 240 countries and territories through twelve regional groups, from North America and the Caribbean across Western and Eastern Europe, Africa, East/Central/East Asia, Oceania, the Middle East and cruise ships. The depth matches the breadth - the Las Vegas city page alone carries 175 structured property records. Each profile layers on what a floor analyst actually wants: opening date, weekday-by-weekday operating hours, a contact block, amenity listings and the games genuinely dealt, Blackjack, Craps, 3 Card Poker, Video Poker, Ultimate Texas Hold'em, American Roulette. Two side catalogs push the map past land-based walls: around 25 cruise-line operators profiled with per-line game lists, table minimums, gambling ages and smoking rules, and a dedicated online-casino catalog keyed by jurisdiction with software, currency and blacklist attributes. Companion verticals track casino openings, aggregate casino statistics and casino-industry jobs.

Five rows, four different business models. Bellagio pairs 136 tables with 2,300 machines; Aria runs a deeper floor - 145 tables - on 2,000 machines; Wynn Encore posts 110 tables against a zero poker-table count. At the far end of the scale the Alamo row is one table and 86 machines, because tavern-grade gaming lives in the same directory as mega-resorts and rides the same fields - which is precisely what makes capacity filters meaningful. The last row is the instructive one: Alon ships all-zero counts rather than being deleted, and the lifecycle flags in the schema (is_closed, coming_soon, proposed) carry the story, so pipeline and dark properties never masquerade as operating floors. Coordinates arrive at six decimal places, enough to place a front door. Request a sample and the extract cuts to the countries, cities or capacity bands you name.

Eighteen fields define the property record, and every definition below was checked against real rows rather than inferred from column names - the dictionary is marked verified. The numeric spine (table_games, gaming_machines, poker_tables) is the analytical payload: it makes floor capacity computable, sortable and plottable with no prose parsing in the way. Lifecycle booleans do the survivorship work, keeping closed and unbuilt venues distinguishable from operating ones. Profile-page enrichments - the opening date and the games-offered list - hang off the same property identifiers. Everything else a profile exposes (contacts, hours, amenities) is quoted under additional fields on request and confirmed with you before anything ships.

Geography - global by construction: roughly 240 countries and territories organised continent-country-state-city across twelve regional groups, with the individual property records sitting on city pages. Cruise-ship casinos are profiled per operator (around 25 lines) and the online-casino catalog is keyed by jurisdiction rather than street address, so the three venue types stay cleanly separable in any filter.

Temporal - a current snapshot of who exists and who does not. Every property carries live status, and opening dates where published mean limited history - when a floor started, when a property went dark - is recoverable from the record itself. Announced-but-unbuilt supply sits in the same panel behind the coming_soon and proposed flags instead of in a separate spreadsheet.

Granularity - one record per casino property, identified by casinoid, with city and country rollups available up the tree. Multi-property resorts appear once per distinct property name, and multi-value fields stay multi-value rather than being flattened away.

• Lead enrichment and territory routing - vendors selling into gaming get accounts sized by floor before the first call: a 136-table resort and an 86-machine tavern are different conversations, and the numeric spine sorts them in one pass.
• Market sizing - property counts and machine totals roll up to city level, turning the directory tree into installed-capacity reads for any metro on earth, including the hundreds of markets no regulator publishes statistics for.
• Competitive tracking - coming_soon and proposed flags surface announced supply before it opens, so expansion maps are built on pipeline rather than press releases.
• Site selection and feasibility - screen candidate markets by existing density and announced pipeline in a single query shape before commissioning a study.
• Quant and equity screens - floor capacity works as a physical-asset proxy between reporting dates; paired with regulator revenue series it becomes a spend-vs-capacity divergence signal.
• Citation-grade research - open/closed status is carried per property, which is what fact-checkers need when a story turns on whether a named casino still exists.

Sales & growth teams get account lists pre-sized by floor, with territory cuts that respect how wildly casino venues differ in scale. Market researchers and consultants get comparable cross-border capacity reads in the many jurisdictions where regulator statistics stop at the border. Investors and quant researchers get a physical-capacity panel and an announced-pipeline flag set to test against reported revenue. Competitive intelligence and product teams get openings and closures surfaced as record events, not anecdotes. Developers and builders get six-decimal geocodes that drop straight into maps, drive-time models and proximity features. Journalists, academics and students get a per-property existence check with lifecycle evidence attached.

Provenance note - the record comes from World Casino Directory, a commercial directory that has been mapping the world's gambling floors for well over a decade. Datadory keeps the source name on the record; every field definition on this page was mapped against the property rows themselves and marked verified.

Completeness note - the directory publishes no global property total, so extract sizes are confirmed at sample time rather than promised here. Machine and table counts are directory estimates of installed capacity, not audited figures, and zero-count rows are retained with their lifecycle flags rather than dropped - the emptier-looking rows are often the analytically interesting ones.

Dictionary note - the eighteen-field dictionary above is verified. Contact blocks, weekday operating hours, amenity references, normalized games-offered lists and split administrative columns fold under additional fields on request and are confirmed with you before delivery.
